Everyone is aware by now that Jerry Jones' greed created a horrible mess, displacing roughly 400 fans in an attempt to set a Super Bowl attendance record. The NFL originally offered the fans $2,400 (three times the face value their seats) and a ticket to next year's Super Bowl. They then announced another option: a ticket to the Super Bowl of the fan's choosing along with travel and hotel expenses paid. Now they have another option. The fan can take the higher of the two options: $5000 or complete reimbursement of documented Super Bowl expenses.
The situation has caused some fans to file lawsuits against the NFL and Dallas Cowboys. Here is a video of a fan and his attorney, who are involved in the class action suit.
At first it may seem like the NFL was just prioritizing the safety of its fans, but documents released after the game show that the Cowboys were slow to respond to requests for building permits needed to install the seats. This was all caused by Jerry Jones poor preparation and the Cowboys' inability to follow procedure and make deadlines. And after all of the trouble, Jones did not come close to the record.
